This is a classic example of why progressive music doesn’t have a larger audience. This genre, which I generally love , has some of the
worst lyrics in the history of music. Some of this music would be best left as an instrumental IMHO.

A pretty darn good example of why I personally don't like vocals, and don't employ any (expet Mellotron chiors), in anynything I play. Too many ques to the earth for a "Space Rock" guy, and the typed words don't fly either. Tony

Boy, am I glad that's over. Vividly awful lyrics. Setting those words to video does not make for a good album sales pitch. It makes the most pretentious ELP lyric look good. -Bruce D. --- On Sat, 1/8/11, Gary Brumm <gabru@comsec.net> wrote:
